Bill overview
The Dependent Income Exclusion Act of 2019 aims to make health insurance more affordable by allowing certain dependents to have their wages and self-employment income excluded from household income calculations when determining eligibility for and the amount of the premium tax credit. Specifically, it excludes income from dependents under 18 or under 24 who are students, apprentices, or participating in job training programs for up to 15% of the taxpayer’s modified adjusted gross income. This change also includes provisions for states that haven't expanded Medicaid, ensuring that the exclusion doesn't reduce household income below 100% of the poverty line.
